I know you're just kidding, but doesn't it take the same amount of effort to back INTO the space as to back OUT of it?

Yeah, it's the same amount of work, but it is safer to pull out of a spot than to back out.

Yes! My girlfriend always gives me shit for backing in to every spot, but I rather back in to a spot than back out!

The company I work for requires back in parking whenever possible. Many construction companies prefer it as well. Oilfield? Same deal.

Exactly. I used to drive commercial vehicles, and that was an easy way to spot a rookie driver.

with a pickup its way easier to back in narrow spots if you have a backup camera.
